Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dry lima beans
4 cups water
5 carrots, chopped
1 leek, bulb only, chopped
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 cubes vegetable bouillon
8 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add dry lima beans, and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow the beans to sit, covered, for 1 to 2 hours to soften. Drain and rinse until water runs clear, discarding bean water.
  • In a soup pot, saute vegetables in olive oil until onions and celery are translucent. Add lima beans, and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • In the meantime, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the vegetable bouillon to the boiling water, and stir until dissolved. Add broth to the sauteed vegetables and beans. Add remaining water, and allow soup to simmer over a low flame for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve steaming hot.

I love this soup! It's so creamy and flavorful. I always add a little bit of extra garlic and chili powder to give it a little bit of a kick. This is definitely one of my favorite soups.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lima beans. I always have a few cans of lima beans in my pantry and this soup is a great way to use them up. It's also a very affordable soup to make.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some crumbled bacon or sausage on top.
